No WAY!
You’d think even if a person hadn’t seen a poodle, they’d notice that the sheep didn’t have feet like a dog. Do the Japanese have any dogs they don’t eat?
The Japanese don’t eat dogs. Very poor, rural Japanese ate dogs during WW2 out of desperation.
Dogs are eaten in Korea, parts of China, Siberia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines. I know it’s legal in North Korea. I think it’s an underground activity in the other places.
